Great review of the Sigma 24mm - but I'm waiting for your review of the all new Sigma 21mm f1.4.

I almost regretted getting the Panasonic 24mm F1.8..... until I saw the focus breathing on this lens. Pfhew, I barely escaped buyers remorse there. The Panasonic is not entirely free of it, but in practice it isn't noticable when focus is adjusted as you are following a subject. It helps when there is a subject in view which "distracts" from the corners.

Interesting, Sigma is really giving us a lot of 24mm choice. The example pix, taken on a "Sunny f/16 Day", were mostly shot at f/4 or smaller. They could have easily been taken with my Sigma f/3.5 DGDN. Much smaller, better travel lens and a far better choice for the FP-L. I'd say the only reason to have this lens is for f/1.4

The comparison for E-Mount should probably include Samyang 24mm f/1.8

@@hasanagera Right?! And it's also very small and light, so I recommend it to use on a gimbal, and it still gives off a cinematic depth of field if that's what you're looking for. The only thing is that the astrophotography mode is completely useless to me. But the 2-mode switch on it is nice when I quickly want to get manual focus. You know what, I should make a video review of it!

@@MoonProds first of first, the switch is not a af mf switch. It's a focus aperture switch. I do photography and I use it as astrophotography lens. I don't usually record video so I don't that switch at all.

Thank you for the excellent video review. Based on this and your video review of the 20mm f/1.4 Sigma Art, it seems like the 20mm is the better choice. But I prefer the somewhat more narrow FoV of a 24mm. I wonder how this lens compares optically to the Rokinon 24mm T1.5, which I have.

The only thing we need now is RF-Mount and Z-Mount support.

Would you recommend to buy this sigma, and sony 35mm 1.8 or go just for the 24GM? Thank you

I own the 28 mm Sigma Art for Sony, love it. The only problem is weight.

I love my Sigma Art 40mm 1.4 but man alive is that lens massive. I get that any Sony native lens is going to be better but is it 50% better (since it cost twice as much oftentime). I laugh at the people saying gear doesn't matter but being the ones who own the top end cameras and gear.....so are they implying they need the best to get good photos then?

focus lock but no distance meter?

Well back in '14 and '15 the Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 or even the 12mm f/2.8 both terrible for stars but the Sony E 10-18mm f/4 a 16-27mm but 12-18mm in full frame and sharp stars and no trailing even at 30s the same for the FE 16-35mm f/4 is great. Then the Sigma 14mm f/1.8 a tank but first and did not know Sony had one coming, stars only looked good at f/4 sad $ loss again. Then the Sony 12-24mm f/4 perfect and even the f/2.8 great. Then first Sony 24mm f/1.4, then 20mm f/1.8 last 14mm f/1.8 and dreams do come true yes for stars/astro/milky way. I spent all that time going wide for the MW only if I had learned to do night panos and just used the 10-18 or 16-35. two others the Voigtlander 12mm f/5.6 Leica M (yes got it with sony adapter) But the Voigtlander 10mm f/5.6 was a best buy and yes for stars/MW great for horseshoe canyon without doing a pano at the edge of windy cliff. With all this and that I will a test that $ saved for the sony lenses is better than the cost less lenses. Yes the low cost they do charts and sample shots but never a star capture the true test of a lens. Even the old old Canon FD 20mm f/2.8, 24mm f/1.4, 35mm f/2.0 even the 50mm f/1.2 are sharper with night stars/nightscapes but AH! AF kicks in for the new video crowd.

@@angelfoto4795 Sure, however, these lenses are designed to be good enough for photo use, and for video, no matter how high resolution, the lenses are optically over-specified. Hence digital correction is not too bad. This is somewhat similar to digital distortion correction. I suppose in future more and more things will be done in the digital domain making the optics lighter, more compact, and better in areas where digital correction is not (yet) possible.

The DSLR version is sharp at 1.4, this new redesigned made it softer.

The Sony 24mm 1.4 GM are still the best 24mm Lens !

Low F stop wide angle lenses are strange, because you don't really care about the bokeh, no one's doing 24mm portraits lol. So it's more about the utility of getting extra stops for lower light environments? But then again the only reason I had a 1.4/f 16mm on my crop body was because it was excellent for video and bokeh'd the background a bit.

Art? Not really. Ultra wide? Not quite. The problem that I have with 24 mm prime is that it is not wide enough in some cases, nor does it give you a nice bokeh even at 1.4. Most photos that this lens can do look like they were taken on a higher end phone. Not really a street lens at 24 mm either - you'd have to be way too close to your object to take a decent photo. It's an OK lens if you want to just take a few photos every now and then and put it away in a drawer for a year or so.

I think that whatever you are reviewing you should use it to shoot the review. I’m bored of that Panasonic you use for video. 😇

Sigma needs to follow the Chinese and get Nikon, Canon and Fuji support as they are losing more than 1/2 of the market

Underwhelming, just like the 35mm 1.4. Horrible outlining on bokeh and tons of LOCA, slow AF and soft wide open. I'm betting distortion is horrid as well. I definitely should've went with the panasonic 35 1.8, won't be making the same mistake with the 24mm. Not sure why Sigma are degrading their DSLR lenses to this dg dn crap.

Snoozer update to these lenses. No new form factors, focal lengths, or first party fp lineup support. They should be heavily criticized at this point.
